Building Capacity to use Learning Analytics to improve Higher Education in Latin America
The LALA project seeks to build local capacity in Latin American higher education institutions to design and implement learning analytics to enhance quality education. The objectives of this project include:
- To develop a framework that describes the methodological, technical, institutional, ethical and communal aspects of the deployment of Learning Analytics in the context of Latin American higher education institutions.
- To adapt two existing tools created originally in the context of Europe to the Latin American context. One will be directed to academic administrators and the other to professors and counsellors.
- To develop the LALA Handbook, a guide containing the LALA methodology, the infrastructure, the adoption experience and best-practices.
